Superb Irish writing slope in ash by Rodman and co of Belfast

A superb quality Victorian period Irish writing slope by Rodman and co of Belfast. The writing slope is in the most wonderfully figured wavy ash mounted with brass Gothic mounts. The interior of the box contrasts to the ash in dark coromandel wood. The interior is in perfect original condition even down to the velvet writing surface. The inkwells and fittings are of the finest quality and in excellent condition. The writing slope retains two labels for the Maker Rodman & co of Belfast. Rodman and Co were based on Donegal Street in Belfast and makers of fine quality gilt frames and boxes. This example is a wonderful quality writing slope in quite incredibly good condition, the only slight negative is that it lacks a key. C.1870
